Juan Russo, born around 1878 in Calabria

Post by Paul_NL »

My girlfriend wants to apply to the Italian nationality by begin a great grand child of an Italian citizen. Right now she only need the birth certificate of her great-granddad Juan Russo. He was born around 1878 in Calabria. She doensn´t know in which province he was born. He left as a small child with all his brothers and sisters, a aunt and uncle to Argentina and never returned to Italy.

In Argentina he married Carmen Bustos, got a son, Hugo Luis Russo born 2 oktober 1919 and died in 1928.

Is there any chance anybody can get information about the birth-certificate or what the most likely province was where he is born?

And is there a way to find information in Argentina about this?

Thanks,

the Russo emigrated in Argentina are more of 1000 records, and the Giovanni Russo are 58 records, as to know what is right? for a search.. to search the immigration year, search on the marriage process for the wedding, search ditto for some wedding of children.. search by will, search by other notarian act, search by family rumor and memory, search by old letters or post cards etc... any trace it is helpful.... suanj

Juan is probally Giovanni?

Date of emigration is just before the turn of the century, probally 1898 or 1899.

Is there any way you can get me the birthplaces of those 58 Giovanni Russo, that would clear some more up as I only know he is from Calabria

Thanks a lot

The Italy know very well who are emigrated, but because in the civil record offices all is in order, well any emigrated person is registered in own birthplace, as is legal and right, so the emigrant normally know the birthplace and if he died, it is possible that the descendants know the birthplace, and if the descendants don't know it, well it means that in the past time they was no interested to italian origin, but now that in Italy we are yes italian citizen but also european citizen, and perhaps, the italian origin for someone could be more interesting........
